    22!

    spoilers!

    Well it’s not a grid! My chosen language does not have bitwise operators so it’s a bit slow. Have to resort to manual parallelization.

      so many off by one errors

      also first time I had to run the code on a desktop machine because my VPS was too slow

      Hacky Manual parallelization

      22-b.jq

      Massive time gains with parallelization + optimized next function (2x speedup) by doing the 3 xor operation in “one operation”, Maybe I prefer the grids ^^:

      #!/usr/bin/env jq -n -f
      
      #────────────────── Big-endian to_bits ───────────────────#
      def to_bits:
        if . == 0 then [0] else { a: ., b: [] } | until (.a == 0;
            .a /= 2 |
            if .a == (.a|floor) then .b += [0]
                                else .b += [1] end | .a |= floor
        ) | .b end;
      #────────────────── Big-endian from_bits ────────────────────────#
      def from_bits: [ range(length) as $i | .[$i] * pow(2; $i) ] | add;
      
      ( # Get index that contribute to next xor operation.
        def xor_index(a;b): [a, b] | transpose | map(add);
        [ range(24) | [.] ]
        | xor_index([range(6) | [-1]] + .[0:18] ; .[0:24])
        | xor_index(.[5:29] ; .[0:24])
        | xor_index([range(11) | [-1]] + .[0:13]; .[0:24])
        | map(
            sort | . as $indices | map(
              select( . as $i |
                $i >= 0 and ($indices|indices($i)|length) % 2 == 1
              )
            )
          )
      ) as $next_ind |
      
      # Optimized Next, doing XOR of indices simultaneously a 2x speedup #
      def next: . as $in | $next_ind | map( [ $in[.[]] // 0 ] | add % 2 );
      
      #  Still slow, because of from_bits  #
      def to_price($p): $p | from_bits % 10;
      
      # Option to run in parallel using xargs, Eg:

      # --argjson s 10 --argjson i {} > out-{}.json'
      # cat out-*.json | ./2024/jq/22-b.jq --argjson group true
      # rm out-*.json
      #
      # Speedup from naive ~50m -> ~1m
      def parallel: if $ARGS.named.s and $ARGS.named.i  then
         select(.key % $ARGS.named.s == $ARGS.named.i)  else . end;
      
      #════════════════════════════ X-GROUP ═══════════════════════════════#
